Dukes of Destiny close Pastorius Park concerts tonight

Local blues rock favorites, the Dukes of Destiny, will close the Chestnut Hill Community Association’s Pastorius Park Concert series tonight, Aug. 1. All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. The series was made possible by grants from the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and Chestnut Hill Hospital.

According to the Dukes website, the seven-piece band is: “the area’s best loved and longest lived blues and old school R&B band. Powered by a tight, driving rhythm section and featuring four outstanding instrumental soloists and five dynamic vocalists, the Dukes have a vast repertoire of rearranged blues standards and moving originals. Together for more than a quarter century, they put on a great live show, getting people up shouting, dancing and having a great time. The Dukes have recorded three CDs and are currently in the studio cutting their fourth which is due to be released in July.”

7 p.m. Mt. Airy Arts Performing Center, 230 East Gowen Ave. Behind Grace Epiphany Church All classes are Free for the trial period, but a donation $3 to $5 is suggested per session for the teacher.[...]
